As long as you think about and understand what you are doing (and why) you should be OK.

To expand:

IP addresses are just more human readable forms of 32 bit integers.

You can take an IP, convert it to a number and use that to. It has nothing to do with firefox. This is how IP addresses work.

It's also an old workaround for when your company filters out web sites. Look up the IP and convert to an integer and use that. Usually works. Not anymore though. The filter software is smarter these days.

Makes sense, but i have a question. Whats the x character for? http://0xd2406ea9/. Hex only goes from 1-F.

0x is just a prefix so the parser knows to read that string as hexadecimal.
